Description: This is an excellent example of a U.S. Model 1884 Trapdoor rifle that was manufactured by the Springfield Armory in 1887. The rifle has a blue barrel, ramrod, barrel bands, receiver, lock plate, hammer, trigger guard and buttplate. The "low arch" breechblock and barrel tang are color casehardened. The black walnut stock is oil finished. The rifle has the late Buffington folding leaf rear sight adjustable for elevation and windage, lock with three-click tumbler and a grooved trigger. The serial number, "383059" is stamped of the rear edge of the receiver. "U.S./MODEL/1884" is stamped in three lines on the top of the breechblock. "A" is stamped on the top of the barrel between the rear sight and the receiver and the Ordnance "V/P/Eagle Head/P" proof and inspection marks are stamped on the left side of the barrel. "R" (Rifle) is stamped on the top right side of the rear sight leaf. "US" is stamped on the top of the buttplate heel. The left side of the stock wrist is stamped with the "SWP/1887" Ordnance final inspection mark enclosed in a rectangle. An encircled script "P" proof mark is stamped on the underside of the stock behind the trigger guard finial. The rifle retains 98% of the original blue and casehardened finish and shows only very limited storage wear. Nearly all of the blue finish is present on the barrel, barrel bands, receiver, lock plate, hammer and trigger guard. The breechblock and tang have all of its vivid case colors. All of the markings on the barrel, breechblock and lock plate are extremely crisp. The stock is near-perfect with un-handled "feathered" grain. The Ordnance final inspection mark and proof mark are extremely crisp. This is an outstanding example that is 98% condition and would be very hard to improve upon condition. Included is the sling but not sure how old it is to the rifle. I am open to negotiate and would be except reasonable offers. I have decided reduce the Price to $1800.00. If it doesn't sell I will be sending this fine rifle to Auction.
